Most of the times, the burglar will arrive late at night, when Sims are asleep. Occasionally though, he may appear when Sims are still awake. When he arrives, [[time]] will automatically be set at the slowest speed, playing one of the two "danger themes." If [[Live PIP]] is enabled, a popup box on the lower-right of the screen with an image of the burglar and text saying "Burglar!" will appear. [[Build mode|Build]] and [[buy mode]]s are disabled until the burglar is finished with the theft and is beginning to leave. If the family has a baby, there is a chance that he may take the baby with him. The burglar will spend his time stealing as many items as he can and escape before the cops arrive. If the police come after the burglar has escaped, they can't reimburse the loss. If they do, however, catch the burglar, the family will receive §1,000 plus the current value of whatever was stolen; stolen items are not returned, but are instead taken away as evidence. At times, a family will be reimbursed for an item that the burglar did not manage to steal.

 

Build and Buy modes are re-enabled as soon as the burglar is finished stealing and is attempting to escape. The player may attempt to trap the burglar, but such efforts are fruitless, as the burglar will disappear automatically after a period of time. Oddly, if the police were called before or during this time, they will not appear until after the burglar vanishes.

 

In ''[[The Sims: Unleashed]]'', there is a glitch associated with this burglar. When El Bandito makes his appearance and then leaves, the burglar will commonly appear and then quickly disappear, usually without any notice. The "danger theme" will still play, and Build and Buy modes will still disable and re-enable themselves, confusing players who aren't aware of the glitch.
